WATCH What Black Cop Does When Black Lives Matter Protester Starts Insulting Him To His Face

An amateur video shot of the Black Lives Matter protest in Minneapolis over the weekend shows an African American police officer exercising the patience of Job as he gets taunted by participants.

The incident took place in front of the 4th Precinct police headquarters, which has been occupied by protesters since shortly after the shooting death of Jamar Clark, 24, on Nov. 15th. Black Lives Matter and the NAACP claim that police shot Clark even though the alleged assailant, they believe, was handcuffed at the time.

Police say they shot Clark while responding to a domestic abuse call after an altercation erupted with the suspect, and he reached for one of the officer’s guns. The responding officers reported that Clark was also preventing paramedics from treating his girlfriend, who he had allegedly beat, according to CBS affiliate WCCO.

Black Lives Matter protesters see Clark’s death as another example of the excessive use of force by an officer resulting in a black man’s death.

The LiveLeak video below features a woman taunting a black officer for standing in the police line between the protesters and police headquarters.

Besides calling the officer an “Uncle Tom” repeatedly, she yells out to him, “You helping them kill us, you own race [sic].” The woman adds, “Your mommy and daddy are rolling in their graves, because you are protecting these motherf–kers.” She also encourages him to go home and drown himself.

“I have some bleach, do you want to bleach yourself? Do you want to look white? You look prettier than Michael Jackson,” the woman jeers at him.

Throughout it all, the officer does not say a word and shows little reaction at all.

Warning: the video contains strong language.

The Star Tribune is reporting that Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges called for an end to the protest in front of the police headquarters on Monday, stating that it has now become a public safety risk. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., who has been supportive of the protests, stood with the mayor in making the call for the protesters to leave.

The mayor noted that the city has met many of the Black Lives Matter demands, including requesting a federal investigation into Jamar Clark’s death and releasing the names of the officers involved. The one main demand that has not been met is releasing the video of the incident. Officials stated that they do not want to make the video public until all witnesses have been interviewed.
